Kitchen tap removal advice please

The loose ring connector you linked to goes inside the fitting a bit. If the male fitting won't take a pipe with a nut and olive then it probably won't take the connector either. You could try it though and see it it fits.

Ah I see what you mean. I bought the part to try it. I haven’t tried it yet but assume you mean the bit that protrudes above the washer in this image. This would need to fit inside the cold flexi hose male end. I will need to dismantle the tap to try this. That’s my next step.

I am assuming the white plastic check valve element could prevent this working even if the protrusion does fit within the male ending. You can see it is not that far in. I read the reviews of the tap and several people stated they connected the cold flexi using a compression joint. One even showed a photo but I could easily have done the same and shared a photo and I know that definitely doesn't mean it is safe or correct to do.
